Popis: Feeding and swallowing problems are reported in 10-25% of all children, 40-70% in premature infants, and 70-90% in children with medical/developmental delays (Graham, 1985; Rogers & Arvedson, 2005; Sullivan et al., 2000). The etiologies of feeding disorders are as varied as the multiple disciplines, approaches, and interventions available. This paper illustrates, through case presentation, an interdisciplinary feeding team model that incorporates an oral, motor, medical, and behavioral approach to treating children with feeding disorders.
